Newborn Screening Panel and Timeline

Minnesota's Newborn Screening Panel

Disorder coming soon:

The following new condition has been approved for addition to Minnesota's newborn screening panel.

  • Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II)

Implementation is currently in progress and screening has not yet begun.

The newborn screening panel refers to the list of disorders that newborns are screened for shortly after birth. In Minnesota, disorders are added to this panel by the Commissioner of Health with advice and recommendations from Minnesota's Advisory Committee on Heritable and Congenital Disorders.


Screening panels may vary from state to state. The Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children (ACHDNC) provides national recommendations on which disorders should be screened for in all states to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. However, each state ultimately determines which disorders to include in its panel.
